Black and White Keys

I have always tinkled
From a very young age
On the ivory dashboard
From the dots on the page

The musical freedom
Of the song never sung
The releasing of passions
On which I too readily clung

There's a beauty in music
Like a God given joy
From operatic piano
To the cheap plastic toy

It matters not anytime
Any place you can find
If you call out to music
It responds in a rhyme

Your heart will be full
From the start to the end
With a strange, mystic healing
Any fracture, can mend

I looooooove this! It is melodic and insightful. I too played piano as a child. I still have a Yamaha but nerve damage took my ability to play well. This is a favorite poem for me. I love this so much. Thanks for sharing it Cynthia.
